@Carl, Those grub resolution settings wreak havoc on me. I booted to vt2, so logged out, logged in, on vt8. Then, for the first time ever, I had the X reset after a logout/login cycle (some logs attached for this). Shortly thereafter, I had yet another crash, and these did not seem to be related to pressing Enter this time. Clearly, messing with GRUB_GFXMODE/GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX creates a very volatile environment for me. I also tried keeping those settings, but using one of my previously successful workarounds (plymouth:debug on boot line, no "quiet splash"), and I did in fact boot to vt7, but very quickly had a couple more crashes.
